Unclear On the Concept: Contact the Web Team
While I give folks props for actually using our contact form, I’m mystified by some– okay, most–of the emails we get at the web team’s catch-all address.
Today’s example:
WEBTEAM CONTACT REQUEST
First Name: Xxxxxxx
Last Name: Xxxxxxxx
Subject: urgent

I really want to have a baby but I have had a hysterectomy is this possible.
First of all, there’s a big button that says “Find a Doctor” on every page (I work for a major medical center in New York). You might want to ask a physician rather than a web monkey about your health issue. A doctor is much less likely to tell you to look it up on Wikipedia.
Secondly, I’m not a physician but I can tell you based on your question that YOU HAVE NO GODDAMN UTERUS. That’s what a hysterectomy is, folks. Sorry to break it to you, lady, but unless you’re planning on adopting or you are a platypus and have the skill of laying your eggs and hatching babies, you’re S.O.L.
Thanks, and have a good day. Computer privileges revoked.
Dang, you are brutal. I hope your boss doesn’t read your blog.
Our Web Director doesn’t know my blog exists. The departmental administrators don’t know what blogs are. So I’m fine.
